TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, THOMAS S. KENNARD, of Exeter, in' the 'county of Rockingham, and State of New Hampshire, have invented a. new and useful Improvement for an Invalid to Recline or Rest Upon while in bed or other place; and I do hereby declare the following is a full, clear, and exact description ofthe construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawing, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a longitudinal side view.

The object of this invention is to alter the back ofthe rest, B, at different angles, for an invalid to recline upon, by loosening the screw in socket C; also, the brace, A, being entirely out of the way, and the card-teeth, E E, preventing the rest from sliding when in use, without injury to the bedding; the whole being light, compact, and cheap of construction.

What I claim as my invention, and wish to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination ofthe braee A, which supports the back of the restB at diiferent angles, and secured by the thumb-screw in the socket-C, and at the lower end by the hinge D, with the eardfteeth E E on the under side of the rest, toprevent its sliding or slipping on the bed when in use, in the manner described.

\ THOS. S. KENNARD.
